Espanyol - Levante

Espanyol and Levante meet at RCDE Stadium on Sunday, 16 August 2026, to kick off their LaLiga campaigns. The last encounter between these two sides saw a 0-0 draw in LaLiga on 27 April 2026, a fixture that followed another stalemate earlier that season in January. Their recent history also includes meetings in LaLiga2, with Espanyol securing a 2-1 victory on 4 February 2024 and a more emphatic 4-1 win on 8 September 2023.

Both teams are expected to field a similar structure in defence, with Unai Nunez and Leandro Cabrera forming part of the expected backline for Espanyol, while Aissa Mandi and Adrian De La Fuente are anticipated to feature for Levante. The attacking options for Espanyol include Roberto Fernandez, with Levante potentially looking to Paco Cortes and Ivan Romero for goals. With no recent form data available, this opening day fixture offers a fresh start for both clubs.
